Is this safe to use outdoors?

Should be ok. Has proper ground wires. But note that the fan is really tiny and does not move a lot of air. Better off getting a 44" fan at least.

I am not an expert. It is an indoor fan and cannot be exposed to rain or saltwater wind. Maybe it will be ok for a while to use on a roof covered porch or patio, but it will definitely rust away. I PERSONALLY WOULD STAY AWAY FROM OUTDOOR USE.

I don't think it is safe to use outdoors unless you live in a very dry climate and it will be protected from the weather (mostly rain or wet stuff). It is designed as an INDOOR ceiling light with fan. When I assembled the unit, I noted that it is not air (or moisture) tight, and definitely not a sealed unit in any sense of the word. I would not recommend using it outdoors except under very protected conditions (like maybe on a porch where there is no chance of moisture getting on it). Also if you have any winds, I wouldn't even consider it. I hope this helps!

I don't see why not, as long as it's kept away from the weather - the worst that can happen if it gets wet is that it'll trip the breaker.

I would not leave it outside for extended periods. The one I have works great indoors and has taken a lot of punishment with no sign of wear.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

The company should answer. However, I do not believe that this was designed for outdoor use.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

I don 't use it outside, so I really can 't answer your question. Sorry. It does work very well inside.

personally, i would not use outdoors - i believe it is constructed for indoors only - probably would warp and metal rust. however, you can contact seller for more accurate informations.

I don't use it outside. There is no reason it wouldn't. If my dog lived outside, I wouldn't hesitate to use it there. I would protect it from the sun damaging the plastic.

I've been using mine outdoors. No issues what so ever. I'm guessing it would be fine to use indoors as well.

I contacted the company earlier and they said that it is NOT meant for outdoors. Thanks for all the answers.

I guess it could be, we use it indoors. Its all metal, so I dont see it being a problem outdoors. Good luck!

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

It is fine to go outside. Mine has been out there for over a month and it is working great

I have used mine outside and it worked great no issues. My guess would be moisture and such that may cause problems.

I probably wouldn't try it outside. Fear of possible rusting. Go for some of the PVC versions, or plastic.
